<a href="http://www.hyperoffice.com/hypermain/highlights/iphone.cfm" target="_blank">HyperOffice</a> has began public beta testing of their business collaboration tools that connect the iPhone to corporate email, contacts, calendars, tasks and notes. HyperOffice operates as an alternative for Microsoft Exchange, syncing the iPhone with Microsoft Outlook, giving business users wireless access to secure corporate messaging and collaboration services. <!--break-->
"People really want to use the iPhone as a business tool," said Farzin Arsanjani, president of HyperOffice. "You can't do that until you solve two problems. First, it is difficult for the large enterprise to deploy the iPhone to corporate road warriors without native support for Microsoft Exchange," said Arsanjani.
"Second, if you are using Outlook to run and grow your business, how do you begin sharing calendars, contacts, documents and tasks - not just email - without Exchange, especially when the iPhone does not work with Exchange?
"These are the two stumbling blocks that HyperOffice removes."
The developer's HyperShare is a gateway tool built into HyperOffice, iPhone users can continue to use Outlook, but share calendars, contacts, documents and tasks - both with and without Microsoft Exchange. It operates as a web application, migrating Outlook contacts, calendars, and email folders, and delivering them to the email application in the iPhone.
